The price for the service of the guaranteed reverse capacities consist of the fixed monthly price for the reservation of 1 MWh of the daily guaranteed reverse capacity and the performance component of the price for each 1 MWh of the used injection or withdrawal capacity.
The guaranteed reverse capacity service guarantees contractually to the present storage users the possibility to use the injection and withdrawal capacities in the direction opposite to that of the basic injection period (April – September) and basic withdrawal period (October – March). The guarantee applies to both nominations and renominations. In addition, for renominations, the change of direction is guaranteed in the same time as for renominations without change of direction (i.e. in 2 hours of the renomination becoming effective).
Guaranteed reverse capacities guarantees maximum flexibility in using the capacities available to the storage user based on a firm storage capacity contract. However, no additional capacities are involved.
Moreover, guaranteed reverse capacities are constant for the whole duration of the contract, their extent being independent of the withdrawal profile specified in the firm storage capacity contract. If a storage user has more contracts for firm capacity, the capacities cannot be combined in one contract.
Guaranteed reverse capacities are beneficial especially for those storage users who wish to have maximum flexibility of immediate changes in injection and withdrawal. This enables them to react quickly to the needs of their customers, reduce the fees for deviations, if any, in the supplies and consumption and make a full use of the price market opportunities in gas purchasing and sales.
